Platform · STODAR

Every feed in. One record out.

STODAR takes trade and holdings data from your brokers, custodians and platforms, cleans and standardises it, and gives you one dependable record to report from, including capital gains tax reporting. Your clients see a single, coherent picture, whoever the data came from.

Many feeds become one record Five inputs on the left, each in its own format, run along dashed lines into STODAR in the middle, which outputs a single solid green line to one consolidated record on the right.

STODAR · The problem

Your data arrives in a dozen shapes. Your clients expect one answer.

Each broker and custodian sends transactions from its own system, in its own format. You cannot make them change, and the people who feel the errors are the ones reporting to clients.

Every source speaks differently

Columns, codes, date conventions and currencies vary from feed to feed. Someone has to make them line up before anything can be reported.

Errors travel downstream

Duplicates, reversals booked as new trades and one-off anomalies get into valuations, tax packs and client statements, where they become complaints.

Platforms flatten the detail

Many administration platforms summarise at fund level. Instrument-level detail for directly held shares gets lost or rebuilt by hand elsewhere.

STODAR · How it works

Bring everything into one structure, then serve everything from it.

STODAR sits behind your front-end and reporting systems as a single data layer. It does not ask your sources to change.

Step 1 · Ingest

Collect from every source

Flat files today, with API connections where sources offer them. Individual and corporate investor data, multi-currency.

Step 2 · Clean

Match and standardise

Duplicates, reversals and anomalies are resolved. Every source is mapped to one common structure.

Step 3 · Consolidate

Hold one trusted record

Instrument-level detail is kept in full, and a clean summary goes to any system that only needs the total.

Step 4 · Serve

Feed what depends on it

Client portals and valuation statements, tax and capital gains reporting, regulatory returns, management information and finance.

STODAR · Who it is for

For firms that own the data problem, and partners who want to solve it.

Buyers

Wealth managers, DFMs, platforms and administrators

If client reporting depends on data from several brokers or custodians, and someone spends time correcting it, STODAR is built for you.

  • Fewer manual fixes before statements and tax packs go out
  • One source of truth for reporting, MI and finance
  • Instrument-level detail without rebuilding your platform
Partners

Platform, reporting and technology providers

If your clients keep asking you to fix the data that feeds your product, STODAR can sit upstream and deliver a clean consolidated record into the systems you already run.

  • Offer clients a data layer without building one
  • Keep your platform, your interface and your client relationship
  • Integrate once instead of once per source

STODAR · Why now

UK deadlines and duties all lean on the same thing: reliable data.

None of these change how STODAR works. They change how much a weak data layer costs you.

Oct 2027

T+1 settlement

The UK moves to next-day settlement. Faster cycles leave less time to ingest, match and correct, so firms are being asked to test their processes well ahead of the switch.

Consumer Duty outcomes

Firms must evidence good client outcomes. Consolidated portfolio data supports the evidence behind products and services, consumer understanding and consumer support.

Open Finance

The FCA's roadmap extends consented data sharing into investments and pensions. Firms with clean, well-structured data will be better placed when it arrives.

STODAR questions

What people ask first

Does it replace our platform or our reporting tools?

No. STODAR is a data layer that sits behind them. Your platform, portal and reporting tools stay as they are and receive cleaner data.

Do our brokers and custodians have to change what they send?

No. STODAR is designed to absorb each source in the format it already sends, so the work of standardising moves out of your team and out of your sources.

What can it ingest?

Today most sources arrive as file imports, and API connections are being added where sources support them. It handles multiple currencies and both individual and corporate investor data.

Does it cover tax reporting?

Yes. Capital gains tax reporting is part of STODAR. It runs on the same consolidated record, so the tax figures rest on data that has already been cleaned.
